It will mean absolutely nothing to my wife\u2014it never has done\u2014but don\u2019t worry, I will still show it to her! If, after tomorrow, we\u2019re in a position to get close to Hearts, then that would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRxP6srl8RR\/\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">The Hoops legend stepped back into the dugout at the club\u2019s moment of need following Brendan Rodgers\u2019 resignation at the end of October.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">O&#8217;Neill confirmed that Wednesday night&#8217;s game against Dundee will definitively be his last in charge.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">\u201cYou will be relieved to know that this will absolutely be it after tomorrow evening,\u201d O\u2019Neill stated. \u201cI\u2019ve been assured by the board. The new man will come in. I\u2019m not sure in terms of the process, but I know this is definitely my last game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\"><strong>People Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotvnow.com\/read\/danny-rohl-and-rangers-league-results-improve-but-ibrox-scrutiny-remains-intense\/\">Danny Rohl and Rangers: League Results Improve, But Ibrox Scrutiny Remains Intense<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b_Kb7Kr-O5Q?si=CI4Bl7qPqNWNs4E7\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">He elaborated on his temporary assignment: \u201cThat was the remit.

I\u2019ve got no complaints at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">\u201cI think it\u2019s great that it\u2019s not a continuation. A young gentleman is coming in, and it\u2019s over to him, but obviously, we have a big game here tomorrow evening, and I\u2019d like to win it if we can. It won\u2019t be easy; Dundee did us a few weeks ago, so we\u2019ve got a bit of a job on our hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">The 73-year-old manager concluded by praising his squad ahead of his final match, which will serve as his proper farewell to the fans.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">\u201cIt\u2019s about trying to win the game, really. Whatever comes or goes after that, the nice thing is that the players have responded and have shown a willingness to embrace some of the things that I think are important about the game. I couldn\u2019t praise the players highly enough. We\u2019ve got one more game to go for me\u2014they have big, big nights ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRxJoteFSdm\/\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interim Celtic manager Martin O&#8217;Neill has been recognized for his superb run of results by being named the SPFL Premiership Manager of the Month for November.
